Belton Road, Sandtoft, Doncaster, DN8 5SXWhen planning, designing and building your outdoor living space we appreciate that you have important decisions to make about colours, style, finish and accessorising to mention a few, however we are here to help:

Where to start?We have clearly reflected the options availablethroughout this brochure and have incorporated various design ideas from our renowned industry experts, leaving you with a visual and practical guide of how to achieve your perfect patio, garden and driveway. Many of our products have been used in award winning show gardens at prestigious RHS Flower Shows and last summer our clay pavers featured on ITV’s Love Your Garden. Please see page 92 for details.

Thoughts and trends for 2014: What our designers and contractors say…To make the most of your garden embrace it as an integral part of your home. Visualise outdoor living; think kitchen, dining and living room to imagine where you would barbecue, eat, entertain, and relax within your garden. Maintain a sense of proportion, consider how your internal space is divided into functional areas and recreate this externally on a smaller scale. Herb gardens and vegetable gardens are also increasingly popular and our approved members think these will be a key trend for 2014. Use pergolas to provide shelter for ‘outdoor rooms’. To extend your living space without building, simply use the same natural stone flooring inside and continue it outside, creating a flush finish that makes a strong natural connection between your home and garden.

On trend: Sleek modern designs, with strong contrasting planting colours are becoming increasingly popular.

Natural stone landscaping products are more attractive than concrete equivalents:

1. Each piece of natural stone has a unique blend of colours and tones which makes your garden / driveway / landscape completely bespoke, unlike manufactured concrete where all pieces are identical and comparatively characterless.

2. The colour in natural stone is not pigmented unlike concrete, making natural stone more attractive.

3. Natural stone will retain its look over time, as opposed to concrete which is manufactured from composite aggregate mixes that become exposed after a few years of trafficking.

Natural stone landscaping products are more durable than concrete equivalents:

4. Natural stone is a durable frost resistant paving material.

5. All of our natural stone block paving is 50mm thick for improved compaction and stability of the driveway, unlike those offered by competitors at 40mm.

Natural stone landscaping products are easier to maintain than concrete equivalents:

6. Natural stone requires minimal maintenance, is easy to clean and retains its beauty over time.

Natural stone landscaping products can be installed as easily as concrete equivalents:

7. The installation of natural stone does not require new skills; it can be laid in a way similar to concrete equivalents.

Natural stone landscaping products are a better investment than concrete equivalents:

8. Using natural stone materials can add greater value to your property.

9. Natural stone does not necessarily have to cost more than using equivalent concrete products. Please refer to the two tables (above) for further information.

Natural stone landscaping products are more sustainable and environmentally friendly than concrete equivalents:

10. Natural Stone is a sustainable building material, as resources of stone on earth are vast, plentiful and date back billions of years. Although the re-generation of stone is not as readily visible as the re-generation of trees, it is a continuous process with natural stone having an enduring life-cycle.

11. Natural stone is exactly that, natural, meaning that our stone products have not been ‘manufactured’ in the way that concrete equivalent products are.

12. As a natural product, our stone products are recyclable and can be used as reclaimed paving and/or crushed and used for aggregates.

Why choose Natural Stone Landscaping Products over concrete equivalent products?

Most of the cost is in the installation!benefits of natural stonesuperior quality and beauty

Concrete after a few years Natural stone after 10 years... Gets better with age!

Natural stone has become an increasingly popular choice for gardens, landscapes and public areas. The prominence of natural stone landscaping products over concrete equivalents is unrivalled as it provides a more beautiful and sustainable option.

Natural stone block paving only costs about 15% more than the total installed cost of your

driveway in tumbled concrete block paving

As the UK’s leading independent supplier of natural stone, we take our corporate duty of care seriously and are constantly looking at ways to improve the sustainability of our operation and environment.

Sustainable and reliable We pride ourselves on offering our customers sustainable products. As they are all natural, our products are truly organic and have not been ‘manufactured’ in the way that concrete equivalent products are. Natural stone is self-regenerating with an enduring life – cycle and the natural stone products we create are recyclable and can be used as reclaimed paving and/or crushed and used for aggregates.

We strive to ensure and develop activities that are sustainable and safe for employees and all others who come into contact with our business. One of our priority targets for 2014/15 is to reduce our waste transportation and drive efficiencies into the production process of our quarries in India.

Quality marks you can trust Following an extensive and rigorous testing process in 2013, the complete Natural Paving range of flagstones, block paving, walling and accessories is fully accredited with CE Marking. Declarations of Performance (DOPs) are available on our website to download.

The tests were completed as part of the transition to the new Construction Products Regulation (CPR), which came into force on 1st July 2013 and requires that all products covered by a Harmonised European Standard (hEN) or European Technical Assessment (ETA) carry CE Marks to state their performance characteristics. Test data information can also be found on our new product labels.

Since establishing our Indian manufacturing and processing facilities we have invested significant amounts of time, money and resource, working hard to ensure that all of our workers enjoy the best possible living and working conditions. We are also opening a new processing facility in 2014 that will create more jobs, improve operational efficiency and reduce the environmental impact.

As proactive and passionate members of the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI), the quarrying, manufacturing and sourcing of our stone is conducted professionally, ethically and exceeds the ETI 9 point base code of conduct, ensuring no child labour, fair wages and safe working conditions. Our company ethos is that we believe in our employees, both in the UK and overseas and try to ensure a good, safe and happy work life balance is achieved.

responsible & ethical trading

Natural Paving Products imports from a number of countries, but unlike many of our competitors we also own a number of quarry mines and factories in India. As a manufacturer we invest in our supply chain and the people that work in it. Fully aware of inhumane practices that exist in parts of the world, Natural Paving Products made a firm commitment to lead the way and show our industry just how natural stone mining should be conducted successfully and ethically.

a quick guide to natural paving flagstones:You will find that each paving flagstone is available in at least one of the following options:

“The breadth of range is second to none, which means that for a complex design I can specify a number of complementary products”

Chris Linforth, Prime Garden Design

You will find that our block paving is available in at least one of the following options:

Project Packs

Project packs contain a mixture of various sized flagstones, commonly used to create random patterns.

Single Sizes Single size packs contain flagstones that are all one size, which are fantastic for creating a contemporary look.

Circle Kits These are pieces of flagstones that have been cut and shaped to make circular patterns, ideal for creating focal points.

Project Packs

Each pack contains 3 different sized blocks with a selected number of each size block. This allows the blocks to be laid in a random pattern.

Single Sizes Single size packs come with a number of same sized blocks. Ideal for creating contrasting borders and features, as well as contemporary driveways.

Circle Kits Description

2 ring circle and squaring off kit:2.4 x 2.4m

Comes with a centre piece, 2 surrounding rings and a squaring off kit.

3 ring circle: 2.8m diameter

Comes with a centre piece and 3 surrounding rings.

For further technical product information and laying guides please refer to pages 110 - 119.

Definition Benefits

Sustainable DrainagePlanning permission is not required if the rain water from the paved area does not run onto the public highway or discharge directly into the surface water drainage system.All paving and surfacing, whether it’s new work, replacement, or extension, is subject to legislation, so even if you are only replacing your existing surfacing with products from Natural Paving, the work will have to be installed in accordance with the regulations.Do you have to use permeable paving? - NO – If the surface is permitted to drain to a permeable or porous area located within the grounds of the property.The easiest and most cost effective solution is to drain all rain water onto gardens or borders if suitable. If the existing paved area currently does so and there are no problems, then carry out a straight forward replacement of the old material.If the proposed area is significantly redesigned then consider draining rain water with falls and/or line drainage to rain gardens or soakaways.

NB soakaways must be 5m from any property.Size of rain garden needs to be 10% of paved area.There are design criteria for rain gardens but simply creating a depression at the back of a lawn for which rain water can collect and percolate through the soil is sufficient. This can be a flower bed or gravel area if suitable.

Laying GuideFlagstones and setts from Natural Paving are of the highest quality and will give you years of trouble-free service when laid properly. All paving should be laid to a level that is at least 150mm below the Damp Proof Course (DPC) of any adjacent buildings.

PreparationMark out the area to be paved, allowing 100-300mm working room at the edges. Dig down to remove any vegetation, topsoil or loose material. Where ground is poor, it’s better to dig down further and then build-up the levels using crushed stone. When working against a wall, the brickwork may act as a level guide,

but for open spaces, a taut string line should be used. Use a spirit level to set the line as near to ‘level’ as is possible. Next, move one end of the string down by 15mm per metre of paving. So, if your paving is to be 4 metres wide, then move the string line down by 60mm (4 x 15mm). This will give adequate fall to drain the paving once it’s completed.

Laying FlagstonesAs natural stone varies in colour and texture ensure you have enough product on site to complete the project and always mix the product from all the packs during installation. This will minimise the effect of colour banding. Flagstones must always be laid on a “full bed” of sand and cement that supports the whole flag and not just the corners. Use 6 parts of sharp sand or all-in ballast with 1 part cement. Mix together and add just enough water to make a mixture that binds to a sticky consistency: a good guide is that there should be sufficient water to allow the mix to be moulded into a ball without falling apart, but not so much that water would run out of it were it to be squeezed in the hand. To improve

adhesion, consideration should be given to applying a PVA and water solution to the underside of the flagstones prior to bedding.Spread a layer of bedding mix that is roughly 50mm thick. Place the first flag onto this bed and use a rubber mallet to carefully tap it down until it is at the correct level. Place the next flag adjacent to that just laid, leaving a joint width of 15-20mm and again, tap down to level.

Repeat this process, laying one flag at a time until the whole area is covered. The joints of flagstone paving look best when pointed with a mortar. Make a pointing mortar by mixing 4 parts washed sharp/rendering sand with 1 part cement. Again, add as little water as possible to bind the mortar without overwetting it.Feed pointing mortar into empty joints from the edge of a trowel and use a pointing bar

to press it down firmly and to polish it when the joint is full. Wash off any excess mortar from the stone before it dries. Try to keep off the new patio for the first 24-36 hours, by which time the initial set of the mortars should be complete. After 5-7 days, the patio should be fine for full use.With all hand cut flagstones ensure the widest surface is uppermost. Circle features should be laid starting with the centre and working outwards.

Laying Natural Stone Block PavingAll block paving, whether it’s a patio or a driveway requires at least three layers: a sub-base to give it strength; a laying course of sharp sand to support the blocks; and the paving blocks themselves. It also needs to have firm edges to hold the paving securely in place.The sub-base should be at least 150mm deep for driveways and 100mm for patios. The laying course should be approximately 40mm. Taking into account the thickness of the block excavate to the required level ensuring you are 150m below the DPC of any adjacent building.

It’s often a good idea to hire a mini-digger or a larger excavator with an experienced operator to undertake this task. Diggers are also useful for loading spoil and spreading the sub-base material. When excavating be careful of any services under the area to be worked.Edge restraints hold the paving firmly in place and prevent it ‘spreading’. Where the paving lies against a wall, this can act as the edge restraint, but elsewhere a restraining edge will need to be constructed. This may be a kerb or simply a course of paving blocks laid on concrete. Set up a taut string line and use this as a guide to both line and level while laying the edge course.Mix concrete for the bed and haunch using 6 parts all-in ballast with 1 part cement. Add just enough water to bind together the dry ingredients.Place the edge course units onto a bed of concrete approximately 100-125mm deep and tap down to level using a rubber mallet. When a kerb is used, it’s a good idea to lay the kerb and the edge blocks in one operation. All restraining edge courses must be haunched by placing concrete at the back and packing

it down. Haunching should cover roughly two-thirds of the unit and be at least 100mm wide. Remember: these edge courses are supporting and restraining the rest of the paving so it is essential that they are firmly constructed.The next task is to spread, level and compact the sub-base material. Free draining material such as crushed stone known as “Type 1” is recommended to form the sub-base.The sub-base should be thoroughly compacted. Level out the sub-base material to create a finished profile which matches that intended for the paving. It’s vital that the next layer, the laying course, has a regular, uniform thickness, so the sub-base needs to be accurate to around 10mm. Check the level and add or remove material as necessary to create a reasonably accurate profile.The laying course is formed by ‘screeding’ a damp coarse sharp sand to the required level. Building or masonry sand is not suitable and will cause the finished paving to settle. Spread and level a layer of sharp sand roughly 50-55mm thick. Pass over the sand once or twice with the plate compactor to partially compact. Use a length of straight timber to

scrape off the top of the sand layer, reducing its level in the process and creating a smooth, even surface, approximately 40mm thick, on which to lay the paving blocks.You may need various lengths of timber and a float trowel to prepare the laying course. It should be borne in mind that the final profile of this laying course will be the same as that of the finished paving, so it is worth spending time getting it right. The finished screed should leave the blocks 5-8mm high so they can be compacted downwards when laid. Lightly loosen the sand surface with a fine rake to allow for an even level after compaction.Avoid walking on the screeded laying course, always work ‘uphill’, and choose a starting point that is a straight edge or a right-angle corner. As natural stone varies in colour and texture ensure you have enough product on site to complete the project and always mix the product from all the packs during installation. This will minimise the effect of colour banding. Place each block carefully onto the laying course. To avoid spawling and/or chipping of the blocks, a gap of 2 - 5mm is recommended. In order to make the laying of the blocks with a gap easier,

pre-formed spacers are available, please contact the Customer Service Team for details on 0845 072 1150. Try to place the blocks straight down onto the bed so that sand isn’t trapped in the joints. Once blocks have been laid, they can be walked upon with care, but try to keep back from the leading edge.Lay all the full blocks first. Blocks to “piece-in”

can be cut using a hired-in block splitter or disc cutter. Avoid very small cuts that are less than one-third the size of a full block. Instead, cut two blocks, each being more than half-a-block, and use these to fill the gap.Once cutting-in is completed, the paving is jointed by sweeping kiln-dried sand over the surface to fill the joints ensuring they are

completely filled. The blocks are compacted with four to six passes with a plate compactor, changing the direction of pass as much as possible. Consideration should be given to the use of a rubber or neoprene mat attached to the underside of the plate compactor. This will minimise damage to the surface of the blocks. Check the area for any damaged blocks and replace them. Add more kiln-dried sand if required or sweep any excess sand into a corner and then make another pass or two with the plate compactor to settle the sand into the joints. The surplus sand is used to top-up those joints that appear partially empty.And that’s it; your new natural stone block paving driveway can be used immediately. Over the first few weeks, the jointing sand may settle further and if this happens, the joints should be topped-up with additional sand.

Important Note:Whilst our block paving is laid in a similar way to concrete block paving, more care should be afforded when laying natural stone to ensure the desired finish is achieved.

product information & guidanceAbout us

Natural Paving Products is one of the UK’s leading suppliers of high quality, ethically sourced natural stone landscaping products. We are an ethically aware company and we are members of the Ethical Trading Initiative.

We supply products to businesses and consumers and have a team of highly experienced sales and technical staff who are available to provide advice and guidance. We are always happy to help and to try and answer any queries that you may have about any of our range of products.

For further information please contact our Customer Service Team on 0845 072 1150.

Purchasing our Products

If you would like to purchase any product in our range please contact us directly through our Customer Service Team. We can assist you by providing contact details of our network of stockists, designers and/or installers.

All sales will be subject to applicable Terms and Conditions which are available directly upon request or from your stockist, designer or installer.

Samples of our products are available from our stockists. We are a supplier member to the Builders Merchant Federation and to the Horticultural Trades Association, many of whose members are Stockists of Natural Paving Products.

Distribution

Natural Paving’s products are available to our stockists for collection or delivery from our distribution centres at Tilbury, Doncaster and Grangemouth.

Approved Landscaping Professionals Scheme

Please note that our scheme is designed to provide a list of members that are independent contractors, installers and designers, whose workmanship has been assessed in order to reduce the risk for you when choosing a landscaping professional. Natural Paving cannot accept credit or responsibility for their actions and work, we can only guarantee the natural stone products, subject to completion of the required paperwork and criteria.

About our Products

Please be aware of the following information about our products.

The product names do not always relate to the geology of the stone.

All of our products are natural stone and vary in colour and texture. Each individual piece will have distinct markings and may contain natural imperfections and defects. Size variations will also occur and unfortunately this means we cannot guarantee particular sizes. All product dimensions are nominal and calibrated products are subject to variations. Traditional hand cut flagstones may result in some delamination of the surface of our products.

Over time, environmental conditions will impact on our products which may attract lichen, algae and/or other organic growths and the appearance of our products may be affected. Due to the composition of natural stone and as its mineral content oxidises, colour variations may also occur. Some stones may suffer from efflorescent or staining from jointing, bedding and fixing compounds/mortar.

Product Care

Careful consideration must be given to the use and care of our products. You should seek technical advice at all stages from your stockist, designer or installer as to the care of the particular product you have purchased.

In particular please be aware that you should consider whether the product can be used for the purpose you require. Also please note that sealers and certain other materials can damage all of our products. Staining of our products can occur if they are not cared for or are used incorrectly and specialist advice should always be sought if you are in any doubt as to any matter.

Health and Safety

We would recommend that you take extreme care when dealing with our products. In particular, many of our products are heavy and awkward in shape to lift and we recommend that suitable lifting equipment is used. Appropriate protective clothing should be worn at all times and health and safety legislation should be adhered to when working with our products. When cutting our products either with chisels or rotary disc cutters it is essential that suitable eye protection is worn. Always ensure that suitable respiratory protection is worn to avoid the inhalation of dust particles produced by high speed cutting devices.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you comply with all applicable health and safety legislation and guidelines.
